  • Eparation of the Purest Aluminum Chemicals
    III. MINERAL COMMODITIES A. INDIVIDUAL MINERAL COMMODITY REVIEWS ALUMINA & ALUMINUM A. Commodity Summary Aluminum, the third most abundant element in the earth's crust, is usually combined with silicon and oxygen in rock. Rock that contains high concentrations of aluminum hydroxide minerals is called bauxite. Although bauxite, with rare exceptions, is the starting material for the production of aluminum, the industry generally refers to metallurgical grade alumina extracted from bauxite by the Bayer Process, as the ore. Aluminum is obtained by electrolysis of this purified ore.1 The United States is entirely dependent on foreign sources for metallurgical grade bauxite. Bauxite imports are shipped to domestic alumina plants, which produce smelter grade alumina for the primary metal industry. These alumina refineries are in Louisiana, Texas, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.2 The United States must also import alumina to supplement this domestic production. Approximately 95 percent of the total bauxite consumed in the United States during 1994 was for the production of alumina. Primary aluminum smelters received 88 percent of the alumina supply. Fifteen companies operate 23 primary aluminum reduction plants. In 1994, Montana, Oregon, and Washington accounted for 35 percent of the production; Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee combined to account for 20 percent; other states accounted for the remaining 45 percent. The United States is the world’s leading producer and the leading consumer of primary aluminum metal. Domestic consumption in 1994 was as follows: packaging, 30 percent; transportation, 26 percent; building, 17 percent; electrical, 9 percent; consumer durables, 8 percent; and other miscellaneous uses, 10 percent.

  • The Journal of the Geological Society of Jamaica Bauxite /Alumina Symposium 1971
    I THE JOURNAL OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF JAMAICA BAUXITE /ALUMINA SYMPOSIUM 1971 LIBRARY 01' ISSUE '/// <°* PREFACE The recent Bauxite/Alumina Industry Symposium, which was sponsored by the Geo­ logical Society of Jamaica, was an attempt to bring together scientists and engineers to discuss the many problems relating to the industry. Ihe use of a multi-dicipli- nary approach has the advantage of permitting different lines of attack on the same problems, and thereby increasing the likelihood of finding solutions to them. Also, the interaction of people from the University, industry and Government greatly facilitates communication and allows problems to be evaluated and examined from different points of view. The bauxite/alumina industry was selected for discussion because of its significance in the economy of Jamaica. It contributed about 16% of the country's total Gross Domestic Product in 1970, and is the economic sector with the greatest potential for growth. Jamaica's present viable mineral industry only dates back to 19S2 when Reynolds Jamaica Mines, Limited started the export of kiln dried metallurgical grade bauxite ore. This was followed shortly by the production and export of alumina by the then Alumina Jamaica Limited (now Alcan Jamaica, Limited), a subsidiary of the Aluminium Company of Canada. The commencement of this new and major industry followed a successful exploration and development programme which resulted largely from the keen perception and perseverance of two men. First, Mr. R.F. Innis observed that some of the cattle lands on the St. Ann plateau were potential sources of aluminium ore, and then Sir Alfred DaCosta persisted in attempts to interest aluminium companies in undertaking exploration work here.

  • Iron Recovery from Bauxite Tailings Red Mud by Thermal Reduction with Blast Furnace Sludge
    applied sciences Article Iron Recovery from Bauxite Tailings Red Mud by Thermal Reduction with Blast Furnace Sludge Davide Mombelli * , Silvia Barella , Andrea Gruttadauria and Carlo Mapelli Dipartimento di Meccanica, Politecnico di Milano, via La Masa 1, Milano 20156, Italy; [email protected] (S.B.); [email protected] (A.G.); [email protected] (C.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-02-2399-8660 Received: 26 September 2019; Accepted: 9 November 2019; Published: 15 November 2019 Abstract: More than 100 million tons of red mud were produced annually in the world over the short time range from 2011 to 2018. Red mud represents one of the metallurgical by-products more difficult to dispose of due to the high alkalinity (pH 10–13) and storage techniques issues. Up to now, economically viable commercial processes for the recovery and the reuse of these waste were not available. Due to the high content of iron oxide (30–60% wt.) red mud ranks as a potential raw material for the production of iron through a direct route. In this work, a novel process at the laboratory scale to produce iron sponge ( 1300 C) or cast iron (> 1300 C) using blast furnace ≤ ◦ ◦ sludge as a reducing agent is presented. Red mud-reducing agent mixes were reduced in a muffle furnace at 1200, 1300, and 1500 ◦C for 15 min. Pure graphite and blast furnace sludges were used as reducing agents with different equivalent carbon concentrations. The results confirmed the blast furnace sludge as a suitable reducing agent to recover the iron fraction contained in the red mud.

  • Targeting Limestone and Bauxite Deposits in Southern India by Spectral Unmixing of Hyperspectral Image Data
    TARGETING LIMESTONE AND BAUXITE DEPOSITS IN SOUTHERN INDIA BY SPECTRAL UNMIXING OF HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGE DATA S. Sanjeevi Department of Geology, Anna University, Chennai-600025. India - [email protected] KEY WORDS: Hyperspectral, ASTER, Spectral unmixing, End-member spectra, limestone, bauxite, exploration. ABSTRACT: This paper presents a study about the potential of spectral unmixing of hyperspectral satellite image data for targeting and quantification of mineral content in limestone and bauxite rich areas in southern India. ASTER image (acquired in the VNIR and SWIR regions) has been used in conjunction with SRTM – DEM and field studies. A new approach of spectral unmixing of ASTER image data delineated areas rich in carbonates and alumina. Various geological and geomorphological parameters that control limestone and bauxite formation were also derived from the ASTER image. All these information, when integrated, showed that there are 16 cappings (including the existing mines) that satisfy most of the conditions favouring bauxitization in the Kolli Hills. The sub-pixel estimates of carbonate content in the limestone area of Ariyalur, south India, match well with the geochemistry of the samples collected from the study area. The study concludes that spectral unmixing of hyperspectral satellite data in the VNIR and SWIR regions may be combined with the terrain parameters to, not only target limestone and bauxite deposits accurately, but also estimate the quality of these deposits. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Limestone and Bauxite as resources Much information about potential areas for mineral exploration Limestone is an important mineral resource used in the can be provided by interpretation of surface features on aerial manufacture of cement, lime, steel, glass etc.
